(ad latera, vix ad apicem, magis rugulosis), parte marginali 



minus lata sed (parte submediana excepta) a disco per sul- 



culum sat distinctum divisa, calli humeralis margine interno 



a sutura quam ab elytrorum margine laterali multo magis 



distanti; segmento ventrali basali minus sparsim minus sub- 



tiliter punctulato; antennarum articulo 3" quam 4"^ sat 



longiori. Long. 4|-4|, lat. 3-311ines. 



In general appearance much like P. sordida, but with the third 



joint of the antennae consideral^ly longer, the elytral punctura- 



tion stronger, the verrucae more conspicuous (especially behind), 



the submarginal sulculus of the elytra strongly interrupted in 



front of the middle, ikc. Also resembles P. punctata, Marsh., 



but differs by sides of prothorax distinctly flattened, coarser 



puncturation of elytra, narrower form, &c. 



N. S. Wales ; taken by Mr. Lea near Forest Reefs.
